Soelet's Officer Given Polk
' Power unJ Authority.
The members of the Associated
Churitles and a large number of women
prominent In pity charitable work were
uddr.'sscd yeswday afternoon In the
Albright library ball by Edmund I..
Sturr. of Toronto, fan. Mr. Starr is
the general apront of the Children's Aid
society of that city and during hist re
marks rehearsed the work of the or
ganization, explained its police power
under act of parliament and enlight
ened the nudience particularly on
Child Savins," which wus the topic
of his address.
ilr. Starr la In the city as a lecturer
for the Epworth league convention,
which for two days has been In session
on the West Side, lie has made a
noble record In child saving work and
In his address pluced the purpose and
methods of the Children"! Aid society
of Canada In a new anil interesting
light, lie said:
"Following. t"he effort to establish our
society In Ontario, parliament appoint
eil a Prison Reform cominlssloti to In
iiulre Into the proper care of criminals
and investigate the best methods of pre
venting crime. This commission made
exhaustive research and their report
was "received and Hied.' This reference
simply illustrates the beginning of our
work and the death which often follows
red tape charity. Sentlmentallsm
charity is false. charily; it does a little
icood unda great deal of evil; It brings
about no permanent good.
Prevents Older Critnlnnlity.
"The whole -matter of child savins
rests upon the proved condition that
children properly reared and nurtured
prevent criminality anions older per
sons. It follows then that the state
should be a mother to the child In law
fact and truth. The child Is the sub
Jeet of the state. In fact; It Is the sub
ject of the state before birth, yet It is
the common practice of the authorities
to neglect the young until it has il
veloped viclousness or crime. The so
ciety I represent Is really the parent
the child In truth under the laws of the
state.
"The act of parlhunetit under which
the society operates gives us the right
to assume control of the young when
ever its surroundings or life warrant
the action; police power Is given us.
These principles should not make it ap
pear that ours Is a prosecuting society.
It Is In all Its intents und methods
society to care for neglected children
Under 14 years of age. The act clearly
describes a neglected child as one who
begs, steals, sleeps in the open air. wan
ilers, has no abode, hus evil associates
or vicious parents, is idle or dissolute
or keeps bad company; It also specific
that a child Is deserted whose parent
Is Imprisoned for crime."
Hoes Not Lneouruge l.vil.
The various classes of neglected
children and cases for illustration wera
described by Mr. Starr, who dwelt par
ticularly upon the society's endeavor to
teach parents that they mist take
proper cure of the child. He called at
tention to the fact that lnstend of being
confined ia " institutions- children are
sent to well ordered households and In
many cases Christian homes. It tends
to decrease the number of Inmates of
charitable homes and does not put
premium on the sin of the parents, be
cause. If not prosecuted, they ure en-
cnuruged to provide a proper home for
their children, who are returned when
circumstances warrant.
Wherever the society la organized In
cities over 10,000 population a "shelter'
or temporary homo Is provided until
cases ure investigated or a home Is
found for the child. Wherever the so
ciety sees fit to establish a branch the
law gives it the right to do so irrespec
tlve of the wishes of town or city
councils, who are obliged to furnish the
"shelter." Ituther than being expeu
jlve. the system Is cheap and relieves
public institutions of Inmates.
Mr. Starr concluded by adapting the
old saw, "Take euro of the pence uu
the pounds will take core of them
Helves,", to "take care of the children
and the nation will take care of itself.
Will Scranton Organie.
In the discussion which followed and
la which Colonel 11. M. Boles, Rev.
Rogers Israel, Mr. Starr and others
participated, It appeared that Pennsyl
vuulu has a Jaw grunting police powe
to properly organize children's aid so
cletles.
' Mr. Israel, as secretary of the Asso
dated churitles, stated that the work
of child saving hud become woefullv
necessary, but Is beyond the power o:
the association. All the foundling and
children homes throughout the city
are crowded.
The National Child Saving society
was referred to by Colonel Holes as a
organization whose purpose is to find
homes for the children of other so
cieties, und which could be secured as
an agent If a Children's Aid society ex
isted In Scranton. It itlso was stated
that Instead of the expense of building
a "shelter" the Catholic und Protestant
insttutloiiK of the city could probably
he used for such a temporary purpose,
nnd the number of their regular in
mates decreased as rapidly as prop-
homes ure found for children Individ
ually.
The discussion did not assume a tren
directly towurd organizing a pollce-cm
powered Children's Aid society uudt
state luws In this city. Nevertheless,
those who heard the lecture are people
charitably inclined, und if the move
ment continues they will be better qua

The question of whether the passage of

the Nay Aug Hose company, tinder
whoso auspices "The New 8outh" will
be produced at the Academy of Music
Monday, Nov. 19, 1S!4, the advertise
ments previously sent out conveyed ttye
idea that "The New South" was a mllt-
tury drama. It Is not a war drama,
but a drama of today, and has
been played over 100 nights in New
York city alone. The New lork Press
says uuout "'.ne origmui American
play, 'The New South,:' It has fully
Justified the predictions of the most
ardent admirers of the native drama.
The plot, pure and simple, yet dealing
most naturally with events existing
In Georgia in US5. 'Nothing extenuated
nor set down in malice,' it Is a fair and
honest role of the period, and used from
Its merits as a valuable and standurd
edition to the best American plays. It
has enhanced our modern stage by the
Introduction of the clever und sterling
artists, Joseph Orlsmer and Miss Phoebe
Davles. Their careful, painstaking and
conscientious work hns already received
the flattering approval of the public and
the unanimous Indorsement of the. en
tire press, and their ruturn engage
ments are everywhere hailed with de
light, A series of crowded houses has
been the verdict so far wherever vlslfed."

Lackawanna Street Railway company's
road us far as Mooslc. The Intention
of the company is to extend the line to
Plttstou, but this cunuot be done unless
some means of crossing the Delaware
&nd Hudson tracks at JUiosle Is discov
ered:. Thut company refused to :allow
the' tlectrle rofid people to lay a cross
ing ovr Its tracks, and for Several
weekil past have had the iTossing
guarded so thnt It would be Impossible
for any one to surprise them und get
the crossing In place before they could
be checked.
This condition of affairs resulted In
the Issuing of the Injunctions asked for
esterda. The IClectrlc railway peo
pie ask the ciurt to restrain the Dela
ware and Hudson company front inter
ferlng with them In exercising their
charter right to pass through the streets
of, Lackawunnn township even though
It does lead them across the tracks of
the, Delaware and Hudson Canal com
pany. That company to preserve Its
rights asked for an Injunction to re
strain .the Electric roud from crossing
Its tracks, alleging that a grade cross
ing at that point would be attended by
grave danger to tha passengers travel
ling on its trains, those of the Jersey
Central company, which use the Dela
ware and Hudson tracks, and the cars
of the Electric Railway company.
Injuuctlons were, granted In both
cases, and made returnable

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
jiC I
artificial Ingestion
Your reporter, among others, wus re
ently requested to witness an expert-.
ment at the New" York laboratory of I
the Pre-Dlgested Food compaiiy. it
seems that tho digestive properties of I
'askolu, their new food, hav.e been !
questioned in some ijuarUds, and it was
ImtnirtiiuL thut. the matter should lie
definitely settled once for all. It Whs to
see an actual test that we had received
the Invitation. After a cordial greet- :
Ing, the chemist In charge said: "Alake '
ourselves comfortable, gentlemen, and
e will at once proceed to business."
At this Juncture one of tho laboratory !
assistants appeared with ft -upplyj.f ,
beef, hard-boiled eggs, fish, poultry and ,
game, which he had mliioed Very finely
In order to imitate the effects of natural
mastication. A quantity of Interesting ,
apparatus was then brought forth, and i
the mixed food having been divided Into
equal portions, was placed In two shut-
lar jars. To each of them was added
acidulated water, but to one was mude
further addition of a dose of Paskola
from a bottle which your reporter had
been instructed to purchase In the open
market.
Both Jars were 'now warmed to the
temperature of the body, and thus kept
for two hours. At the end of this time
the Jars Were removed from the dainty
little oven in which they, hud stood,
when lo! and behold, we found thnt
whereas the content of one of them
had undergone no change whatever, the
food in the other, t which had been
added the Paskola, had lternllly dis
solved like so much sugar, and a clear,
limpid solution was the result. This,
to our uninitiated eyes, wus most inu'r-
elous, and almost savored of magU',
for we hud often seen beef boiled in
water without otherw ise changing, than
to part with Us color. Yet here, nt the
gentle temperature of the body, It hud
been rendered completely soluble. The
chemist, while not surprised, was no
less pleased than ourselves, lie ob
served: "Gentlemen, If you would know
whether or not Paskola posseses de
cided digestive properties, look to those
Jars for an answer." The evidence was
oncluslve, for the object lesson before
us was so simple that we cutild not fail
10 comprehend the matter. He told 11S
thut the base of paskola was arti
ficially-digested starch and that for
this reason It was a flesh -producing
food vastly superior to cod-liver nil or
any of the nauseous drugs heretofore
used for this purpose. He stated,
furthermore, that us we had seen, li
possessed ' the . property of digesting
other foods in. the stomach, and thus
was an active aid to 'digestion, il whs
permitted to sketch the Jars after the
experiment hud .been completed, as re
produced ubove. The sediment shown
by the shading In jui' No. 1 represents
the undigested food as when pluced In
It. We Were told that thousands of
sufferers had used Paskola Willi. greut
benefit, and were shovVn n kirfee number
uf letters In this connection, 1 quote
from a few of them as follows: .
Airs. W. T. Andrews, of Gold Hill,
Ala., says that she hat been treated for
years for Indigestion by the most emi
nent physicians with only temporary
benefit. She began taking Paskola four
weeks ago, has already galnerft-ight i.h)
pounds, and now eats steak,' chicken,
and In fact everything her appetite
craves. ;
R. P. Cross, of 74 Alichlgan avenue.
Hammond, lnd wrote that he galiud j
four (4) pounds the first week, and Is
so enthusiastic that he pronounuefl Pac- j
kola superior tn any medicine he ever
saw. I
Airs, Al. L. Gruntz, of Spring ValleV. I
N. Y., whose letter was dated June 26.
says that she, too; suffered from
chronic dyspepsia for years. At times
even a drink of water distressed her.
She has been greatly benefited bv the
use of Paskola, and says that she Is
now convinced by her general condition
that sha derives nourishment from food
which she formerly did nor.
These statements but confirm the test
which we had wtnessed.
